  • Their report, which surveyed 33 universities, found in almost all cases that the responsibility for copyright issues in lecture content lay with the lecturer but a “significant amount of the policy documents did not make these responsibilities clear”. The paper recommends that universities “make clear” who is responsible, but also “provide supportive copyright advice…on issues such as the use of third party material in recorded lectures”.
  • “There has been a process of trying to harmonise copyright law across Europe…but what tends to happen with Moocs, they tend to rely on Creative Commons licences (enabling the free distribution of an otherwise copyrighted work), [so] it is possible to create resources that can be openly shared.”
